View Profile Joe Musgrove PIT • SP • 59 Owned40% We haven't seen a ton of Joe Musgrove in the majors, but what we had seen in his first 49 appearance (25 starts) wasn't something Fantasy players were terribly excited for. Musgrove's stuff played up in relief, where he had a 1.26 ERA and a 28.9 percent strikeout rate, but he looked more like a back-end rotation starter in his first 25 starts. Armed with a low-90s fastball, he was your prototypical back-end starter, capable of throwing plenty of strikes and hopefully of … [Read more...] about Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: A new side of Joe Musgrove shows more upside

He isn't missing bats, he has his highest walk rate since 2013, and batters are crushing the ball when he does throw strikes. A lot of people have been trying to figure things out with speculation that he's tipping pitches and his slider is broken. I had Duffy on my bust list in January, but even I didn't expect him to be this bad. On Thursday, he wasn't. We'll see if it's a step in the right direction.

When he opened the season at Triple-A Memphis with 13 homers in 29 games, the only question left was, "Can he do it in the big leagues?" View Profile Tyler O'Neill STL • LF • 41 Owned28% He hasn't had an everyday role, but the answer so far has been a pretty emphatic yes. Starting his third game in a row Monday against the Royals, O'Neill also went deep for the third straight game, going 2 for 4 with four RBI and a double for good measure. He now has three home runs and seven RBI and five … [Read more...] about Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Four options for power, speed and saves

Heath Cummings looks at the best start of the season for Reynaldo Lopez and discusses other waiver wire options. by Heath Cummings @heathcummingssr 1m ago • 4 min read More Fantasy Baseball: Week 9 two-start pitchers | Sleeper hitters | Juan Soto is here We've always wanted something more from Reynaldo Lopez.In 2016 he had the pedigree and looked dominant in the minor leagues, but he walked 22 hitters in 42 major league innings. In 2017 he was traded to the White Sox and got the walks under control, but he only struck out 30 hitters in 47.2 innings. Even when he started this year with a 1.78 ERA, his peripherals screamed regression. That regression came hard and fast in May when he gave up 13 runs in 16 innings in his first three May starts. But on Sunday he finally gave us the upside we'd been begging for.
